Now Frank Sinatra transcribed as Rocky Fortune. NBC presents Frank Sinatra, starring as that footloose and fancy-free young gentleman. Rocky Fortune.
I hear it said I'm good at shoddy that a rolling stone gathers no moss. In my case it is not only moss that I don't gather, but something else which is green, namely loose, to which to buy the little things that make life worth living, like food.
